Another perk to my trip to Florida a few weeks ago was getting to spend the afternoon with my Granny. It's no secret that I think she's the bee's knees, so a whole afternoon in her apartment with just her and Lisa was pretty special.
Our conversation went in many different directions and for a little while we talked about genetics and who in the family had received which genes (Babington genes are strong and run wild through the family!). We compared eye shapes and colors, skin types, body shapes and smiles and when we got to hands we all agreed quickly that Lisa had inherited mom's pretty hands. They were both gifted with olive skin and long, thin fingers with nice nails. I've always known that I got dad's hands, but somehow realizing that they are also Granny's hands makes them seem a little prettier. : )
As we compared our hands I asked her if she remembered what her 35 year old hands looked like. She didn't. But I have a pretty good idea what my 91 year old hands will look like and love them already.
